Dear Fiverr Community,
I feel compelled to share a concerning encounter I recently had that I believe is part of a scam targeting Fiverr users. I received what appeared to be a legitimate message from Fiverr Support asking me to verify a payment due to suspicious activity on my account. Initially, it seemed legitimate, especially considering the swift response from Fiverr Support.
However, upon closer inspection, I noticed red flags. The message requested my email stating that "Fiverr" was holding a payment before confirmation. Additionally, I was instructed to verify transaction details to receive funds. This raised suspicions as I know that legitimate transactions on Fiverr do not require divulging sensitive information like payment card numbers or CVV2 codes.
Realizing the potential threat, I decided to investigate further online and stumbled upon similar reports of fraudulent activities targeting Fiverr users. It's evident that scammers are impersonating Fiverr Support and sending phishing messages to deceive unsuspecting users.
I consider myself fortunate not to have fallen victim to this scam. However, it's crucial to raise awareness within our community as many others may not be as vigilant. Always remember to scrutinize messages carefully, checking domain names and verifying the authenticity of requests. Legitimate transactions on Fiverr should always be conducted within the platform, with no need to disclose sensitive financial information.
I urge all Fiverr users to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity immediately. Let's work together to safeguard our community against such malicious schemes.
Stay safe and alert,
Kamil K
